CHARLESTON, SC - The Charleston RiverDogs were held hitless through the first five innings and could not bounce back in the late innings, falling 4-1 to the Hickory Crawdads in front of 4,367 faithful fans Saturday night at The Joe.

Hickory (16-6) got on the board early with two runs in the top of the first against R'Dogs starter Justin Kamplain. Travis Demeritte drew a one-out walk and then the Crawdads hit three singles in a row, plating Demeritte and Ronald Guzman. Jose Trevino and Luke Tendler each picked up an RBI on their base hits.

The Crawdads added another run in the top of the sixth on an RBI infield single by Jose Cardona. Tripp Martin was running on the 3-2 pitch with two outs and scored all the way from second base on the flair single to center.

Hickory's Brett Martin pitched into the sixth inning, where Charleston finally got their first hit and lone run of the game. Radley Haddad picked up his first hit and RBI as a RiverDog when singled in Devin Bolasky, and cut the deficit to 3-1.

The RiverDogs (14-8) did not score again despite having runners in scoring position in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings. However, the Crawdads did add one more insurance run to their lead in the ninth inning on an RBI single by Ronald Guzman against Charleston's Rony Bautista.

Martin (2-0) picked up the win for Hickory, their league-leading 16th of the season, and John Fasola earned his fourth save in as many chances. On the other side Kamplain (1-3) took the loss.
